Snow White scenes depicted in apple art
Posted by Team Boxwish 17 days ago
We all know that films can give you the munchies. There’s no getting through Julie & Julia without your belly rumbling, you can practically taste the food in Ratatouille and don’t let’s get started on Chocolat – it’s too early in the day for a chocolate binge (check out our top ten movie chefs for further mouth-watering examples, see Related Content, right). But marrying the tasty treats depicted in the film with art is a leap we haven’t often taken, that was until food artist Prudence Staite came along. Along with her Food Is Art team, Staite “creates anything you can think of in any food stuff from chocolate to gravy” and has applied this food theory to Disney masterpiece Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, re-creating famous stills from the fairy tale with apples.
Staite and the Food Is Art team produced six iconic images from the movie, including the dwarves off to the mine (“Heigh Ho!”, pictured), the Wicked Queen disguised as a hag tempting Snow White with the poisoned apple and the Prince kissing the sleeping heroine for the happy ending. Staite was commissioned to create the innovative art by Disney, who are drumming up interest in the animated classic in the build-up to its Blu-Ray debut and reveals that 14 different varieties of apple were employed for the art attack.
On the project’s appeal, she explains: “Snow White is the ultimate time enduring classic, so it was fantastic to play around with such well-known, iconic imagery. The apple is such a big part of the story, it seemed right to use it to recreate some of the Disney magic in the works.”
This uniquely fruity concoction is indicative of the novel items in Staite’s canon of work, from food paintings of the Top Gear presenting trio to chocolate sculptures. A number of simpler items are available to buy (we love the Dorothy’s ruby slippers painted with edible red glitter) and she and her team are available to discuss more demanding orders.
